metallica'nın playboy'a verdiği bu röportajda, jason grubun kendisine yaptığı en büyük saygısızlığın and justice for all'daki bassların kısılması olduğunu belirtmiştir.

NEWSTED: They actually got tougher as time went on. The second and third years were the most brutal. Instead of fraternity pranks, there were things that cut deep and were based on disrespect.
PLAYBOY: What did they do that was disrespectful?
NEWSTED: Turning the bass down on And Justice For All. Not listening to my ideas, musically.
PLAYBOY: Is Jason even on And Justice For All?
HETFIELD: His picture is on it [big laugh]. Someone sent me a joke CD, with a sticker on the outside that says, "And Justice For All - now with bass!"

kısacası kulaklarla dinlenirse, albümde fazla bass duyulamaması doğaldır.
